Eucalyptus nortonii
Mealy bundy is a small eucalyptus tree from south-eastern Australia, growing to about 15 to 18 m in open woodland on dry, rocky ground. It is a species of tree rather than a houseplant, so it needs full sun and room to grow.
Eucalyptus nortonii, commonly known as bundy, mealy bundy or long-leaved box, is a species of small tree that is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It has rough, thick, fibrous or flaky bark on the trunk and larger branches, smooth greyish bark on the thinnest branches, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and cup-shaped or cylindrical fruit.
Eucalyptus nortonii is widespread and locally common in open woodland on dry, rocky sites on the tablelands of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory south from Manilla. It also occurs in central and eastern Victoria, including near Suggan Buggan and Whitfield and from Castlemaine to the Pyrenees.
